# Zillion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zillion is a metroidvania-style game released in 1987 for the 8-bit Sega Master System.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's based on the anime Zillion (赤い光弾ジリオン, Akai Koudan Zillion).

## What changes are made to this game?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The way the original game lets the player choose who to level up has a few drawbacks in a multiworld randomizer:
|
|
|
|
|
- Possible softlock from making bad choices (example: nobody has jump 3 when it's required)
|
|
|
|
|
- In multiworld, you won't be able to choose because you won't know it's coming beforehand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So this randomizer uses a new level-up system:
|
|
|
|
|
- Everyone levels up together (even if they're not rescued yet).
|
|
|
|
|
- You can choose how many opa-opas are required for a level up.
|
|
|
|
|
- You can set a max level from 1 to 8.
|
|
|
|
|
- The currently active character is still the only one that gets the health refill.

## What does another world's item look like in Zillion?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Canisters retain their original appearance, so you won't know if an item belongs to another player until you collect it.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
When you collect an item, you see the name of the player it goes to. You can see in the client log what item was
|
|
|
|
|
collected.

## When the player receives an item, what happens?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The item collect sound is played. You can see in the client log what item was received.
